They might not have intended a season-threatening injury but it’s fairly plain they set out to rough Rodri up.

No they don't. There's plenty of pushing and shoving from standing positions and holding and so on, but a sideways shove when you are moving at pace does not happen in most corners, not least because there isn't the room. Shoulder to shoulder is within the rules, raising your hands...
